mikeDoes anyone know first ballot hofers only?
I know Carlton Fisk didn't go in on the first ballot; I am not sure Joe D. didn't go in on the first ballot, But he was a great clutch player.
I have to agree with some of the sentiment here: Most of the obvious selections now go in on the first ballot.
I am a huge Cubs fan. I think Sandberg was a great player, but I am not sure he's HOF material. I'll never forget the job he did on the Cards in that game during 1984 (I was a teen and in summer school 
so I had a lot of free time). After that game, the Cubs seemed to find a way to win. I think the biggest criticism with respect to Rhino would be that he was too conservative a fielder. Morgan got two MVPs while on the Big Red machine.
I'd take 1964-1971 Santo at third base and I wouldn't be upset with Jack Morris as my staff ace.
